Does this fairing reduce any wind resistance to the body?

A fair amount but nothing noticeable in comparison to a batwing or a windshield.

The 12.5" bar will end up above the fairing about an 1.5" or so. The shape of the fairing will still deflect some of the wind and bugs off your hands, but not all of it. Check out the WildOne website, they've got several illustrations of how they fit. Hope this helps.

I would say yes- as my windscreen sits way above my handle bars--you seem to have reverse situation with higher handle bars. I had a lot extra material left over after covering my bike

Jim, The Airdyne uses a wind turbine so the resistance is proportional to peddle speed. Not sure of your fitness level but at higher revs it provides a challenging workout for arms and legs. If you want to maintain a fixed peddle speed and vary the resistance this is not the machine you want. Jim

The attachments are secondary components like bike racks and stuff. Yes there is some wind noise but it is minimal. The rack comes with some rubber strips that go into the T-channel slots which makes the rack much quieter with out it creates a noticeable whistle.

I have flown it outdoors in bright sunlight with no problem. The forward speed is quite slow, so if there is any wind, you will not be able to make upwind progress meaning it will just fly away.

Depending on your cycling ability, yes it does. I don't notice the resistance until I have it all the way up and I'm cycling pretty hard.

Mine does too...at around 60 mph. I take it off unless I specifically need it to cary something, otherwise it is off. It is easy to take it off and put back again. Alex

I have an older Yakima wind fairing model, and I did have to adjust it, but it fits without issue. I can't specifically speak for the newer models, but if they have adjustments, it should be fine.

Yes and no. It has some resistance In one direction and none in the other . The seat adjustment is difficult for my wife to adjust but over all the bike has performed well .

Hi R . Michael, There is no definition for wind resistance with this. The Gazebo is all weathered proof and made for all seasons. Exclusive Home & Furniture Inc

I live in the NW- By Seattle,WA. We get high winds mostly spring and fall-winter. So far, My screen fence has withstood the current high winds- Mine is Doubled up for extra privacy- facing West- to East secured on my side of the chain link. Mine billows like a sail and so far handles wind just fine- Single layer Vs wind ? should work fine. Some sunlight will show thru. kinda sparkles in late afternoon sun. Hope this helps- I've only had mine a month + D.Durham

It will tolerate a very light breeze, but nothing over 5 mph. Enjoy. I've had 3 of them, wore each one out. Great Bird.

As a former aircraft mechanic...if you're looking to add a stereo system to a fairing I would seek out a fairing designed for one. The Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing is nice by itself but not designed for add-ons.

I've been riding with this for almost a year on a mountain bike. I have not noticed any impact on balance or steering while riding. Note that i am riding a fairly heavy steel-frame mountain bike on mostly rough terrain, with a lot of street in between. Riding without hands has not been affected at all.

I use it to balance my Phantom 2 props.. It's supposed to reduce vibration and gain speed. Hope that answers your question

It doesn't have anything to do with the way the engine runs. It will, however, reduce the amount of vibration your arms feel from things, such as the engine.
